Description
I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more.

Dagon is a 3D narrative experience in madness based on the cult short story of the same title by the master of cosmic horror and weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft himself. It’s an interactive portal into the world of the controversial genius and his highly acclaimed Cthulhu Mythos, open to both newcomers and long-time devotees.


The change happened whilst I slept.

Step into the shoes of a former ship officer and morphine fiend, and dive into the Stygian Abyss of a drug-addled mind. Uncover the unspeakable, long-drowned horrors on a distant eldritch island and wallow in Lovecraftian dread.


I think I went mad then.

So make yourself comfortable in front of the screen and experience cosmic horror first-hand in this 100% faithful adaptation of the original story. It will only take about 30 minutes, but you may never look at the ocean the same way.

Features:

  • immerse yourself in a fully-voiced narrative experience in real-time 3D
  • discover the origin of the Cthulhu Mythos and the twisted world of H. P. Lovecraft
  • treat yourself to a short, free horror that can be experienced in 30 minutes
  • learn about the original story, its author and their impact on culture etc. while playing
  • buy an optional DLC to support our future projects and get additional goodies (including an audiobook and a screenshot-filled e-book)

Warning: side effects may include insomnia, delirium and acute cosmic horror.

Eloquent Narrative w/Visuals

I found it overall all a good rendition with very good voice/reading of Lovecraft's tale. The visuals were quite lurid and striking at times. Other times they were rather mundane stopping points as the narration of the story continued. I enjoyed this adaptation of Dagon.

Decent Lovecraft adaptation of Dagon

Introduction The game is a adaptation of Dagon short story from H.P lovecraft almost step-by-step, if you are a H.P Lovecraft fan and like a frame-by-frame adaptation you will problably like it. Gameplay The gameplay is ok to me, but can be strange to some people, you don´t move the camera freely 360º, you also don´t walk through the 3D scenarios freely, you can only appreciate it using the mouse and investigate the scene by clicking on certain items, for me this is perfectly fine and works very well, but maybe not for everyone. Story Is a perfect adaptation of Dagon lovrecraft, it's frame-by-frame true to the original history as any lovecraft fan remember. Coclusion A nice adaptation for any gamer interesting in terror that are not fixed on gameplay itself, I also think that this game will serve very well any non-gamer reader that wants a more visual experience into lovecraft short story.

Good intro to Lovecraft

As someone that has never read Lovecraft but does know of his works, I was pleasantly surprised. I reached this game while going through my ever-growing backlog, and was planning to just try the story and probably drop it. However, the story did grip me from start to beginning. The imagery helped sell "Dagon" as a story, even if the graphics were quaint. It is quite an efficiente way to showcase cosmic horror and the beginnings of Lovecraft work. "Dagon" has definitely made me far more interested in reading Lovecraft than ever before.

Good short story adaptation, poor game

If you've ever read Dagon by H. P. Lovecraft and compare it to the game, you'll see it's really faithful adaptation scene by scene. I really liked that. As a game however its just a very short (you can finish it in 20 minutes) walking sim. It's free so everyone can find out themselves if they'' like the game.
